Adventure does not always mean happy fun time.

But the point is there will always be threat, or something to fight. Killing Salem won't mean they'll have to hang up their weapons forever and go be shopkeepers or something (and the show have to end) because there's nothing to provide a plot anymore.

I've avoided spoilers for the most part and finally decided to give this thing a look before my luck runs out.

I've seen the first six episodes of season 1. Coming from an RVB background, it's odd seeing plenty of voices belonging to very different characters with no curses, AI-powered super soldiers, or Black Comedy violence anywhere to be found.

Not that that's a bad thing, I'm doing my best to treat this as a separate thing on its own merits. So far it's very familiar, but in a good way, like a action kids show I'd watch when I was a tween.

Feels nostalgic like a good indie game, though of course I know it gets darker and more original as it goes, as kids shows are won't to do.

I have a theory that yes Jaune's semblance is defensive but it's not a shield kinda. When he activates his semblance, his aura manifests itself as armor. Basically when activating his semblance Jaune becomes an armored knight and in this state he can repel attacks and is basically has unstoppable defense.

[up][up]Just stay out of here until you've kept up with the rest of the show. We've been pretty nonchalant with spoilers.

[up][up][up]heh, I'm the opposite of you. I'd never even seen RVB(or any other rooster teeth production) before I caught the red trailer, and was instantly hooked. Now I'm watching RVB through the hiatus and liking it so far, though the production quality of season one compared to the couple season 13 episodes I caught makes me cringe a bit even though I know this is, well, season freaking 1

Yeah season 1 is my least favorite but it featured several cool moments like Tex, the team killing, Ghost Church, The Wartpuma, and the ending.

Season 1 was just setup and introducing characters. That's why it's the weakest.

Not at shot at Blake's competence, but rewatching the fight I think Velvet used Gambol Shroud better than her.

@unknowing: I'd envision a scenario where Ozpin is the big bad being less like Starcraft, and more a Heavily Gnostic twist to the cosmology, which would cast Ozpin as a power mad demiurge responsible for a great deal of the world's suffering, and Salem as a Rage Against the Heavens character.

Reference RvB by having Yang lay a beatdown on Adam similar to this.

Hardly.

Frankly, I'm not broken up about Pyrrha's death like most people here. Yeah I was affected by it, but I don't have any strong feelings about it.

I have three reaction modes when it comes to characters dying. Surprise, when some one dies suddenly (Roman), realization someone's about to die (Penny and Pyrrha), and verge of tears/actually crying when someone has a slow death (via illness or mortal injury), which I hope doesn't happen in RWBY.

The narrator certainly seemed ominious and suggested things would get bad later on (though not everyone believed they would really go that way) but I dunno about it being obvious the narrator was a character in her own right, let alone the main villain.

All right, I'll rephrase. Episode 1 had me convinced that the Female Narrator was the main villain (and good-turned-evil) while Ozpin was the The Atoner with a Dark and Troubled Past. The Volume 1 finale's introduction of "Queen has pawns" immediately convinced me that the Female Narrator was the Queen, and Cinder's group were the pawns the message was talking about.

I believe that Cinder is being used by Salem, knows less than she thinks, and doesn't recognise true power - I believe Salem has given her an illusion of power, and that Cinder is more powerless than she realises. That isn't sympathy for Cinder talking - I just think Cinder is the generic kind of villain that is being used for a plan she barely understands by the real villain, and the real villain will eventually toss her on the scrap heap - either directly, or by getting her killed off by the protagonists. I think Cinder's in for a pretty messy destiny.

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.

[up][up]Yeah, I can see why you would think that, the issue here is how much does Ozpin have to atone? maybe he cross the moral evident horizon and he is just trying the best he could to atone.

But I expect more of cinder that just "villian who is sacrifice for the bigger dad"
